Venus Williams Claps Back At Body Shamers In The Best Way

Venus Williams has had a successful tennis career, but sometimes her accomplishments are overshadowed by internet trolls. "The truth is, there have been so many people who have body-shamed Serena and me," Williams told Today. "They've said things like, 'Oh, they're too muscular,' and 'Oh, they look too much like men.'" But Williams has learned how to block out all of the negativity. "If I look like a guy, great, whatever. I don't really care," she said. "My body looks the way it is because I'm strong, I work hard, and I train hard."

That's definitely something to be proud of. And Williams is working to make sure that other women feel just as confident as she does. That's why she started her clothing line EleVen, a line of fitness apparel and accessories. It's not only about looking your best. Feeling your best is equally important. Williams explained, "When your self-talk gets to a place where you know who you are and what's in your heart, nobody can touch you. And that's an incredible moment."
